The BCC’s volunteering programme connects the profit and non-profit sectors within our membership network. Are you a for-profit company looking to expand your Corporate Social Responsibility activities? Let our programme match you with a non-profit organisation that can benefit from your skills.

Find your inner volunteer!

Many of our non-profit organisations need soft skills help from a professional in areas such as marketing, accounting, design and management. In other cases, they are looking for manual work from a team of volunteers. Whatever the specific needs of our non-profit members, our programme operates on the principle that both parties benefit from volunteering activities.

The mission of the BCC’s volunteering program is

To facilitate CSR activities among our for-profit members

To increase the visibility of our non-profit members

To create long-term, mutually beneficial volunteering partnerships between BCC members

Who can participate in the programme?

All BCC members can become volunteers. Non-profit BCC members are eligible to receive volunteers.
